Tim Johnson's Ride on Washington 2012 →
I’m doing it again! Riding from Boston to Washington DC in support of Bikes Belong. I am trying to raise $2500 for this great organization which, since 1999, has awarded 236 grants to municipalities and grassroots groups in 46 states and the District of Columbia, investing nearly $1.9 million in community bicycling projects and leveraging more than $657 million in federal, state, and private...

Revisiting: On cycling, taxes, and fallacies
So, it’s been a few months since I put down my thoughts on cycling, taxes, and fallacies and have been happy with the positive response it’s been receiving. This came to mind again recently when I got a message through tumblr by a well known local opponent of bicycles. Specifically, that apparently the Massachusetts Chapter 90 Program somehow invalidates the point that we all pay for...

the Hubway
Incase you weren’t aware, Boston just launched a new bike share program; and this is a wonderful thing. I’ve long believed that the one thing to improve cycling in our society is not more eccentric advocates, but more “regular people” riding bikes. There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding out there as to what a bike share is and is not, I know I was confused when I first...

On cycling, taxes, and fallacies
“Roads are paid for by (gasoline) taxes, which cyclists don’t pay - only car drivers pay them.” How often have you heard this? People really love their cars, holding tight (with a deathgrip) onto the antiquated ideas of personal freedom and accomplishment that come with owning cars that they were sold in yesteryear. Too often, these car proponents are also bicycle opponents...
